Ferry is not an affordable option for all

Letter to the editor

I have just one question for Mr. Lie Nielsen and all other opponents of a road north. How do you respond to people who would like to drive to Skagway or Whitehorse for the weekend, but cannot afford the cost of a round trip to Skagway with their car on the ferry? There are probably more people than you would guess that live in Juneau that the Marine Highway is cost-prohibitive for.
